I think the difference is, its easy to find a billet blank, where the hell do you find forged blanks? If you find a plant able and willing to produce quality forged steel blanks you are half way there. Then all you have to do is convince a grinder to shut down and retool for a handful of Pontiac cranks.
Im ready for 2 forged cranks right now but Im not going to hold my breath for new ones.
and for the smartasses out there, yes I did bid heavily on the last 990 that was on ebay.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
